  • Really not that bad. If you're a perfectionist and posted this video about yourself, fine. But overall, a valiant effort.

  • Anyone of the people who is talking about this plays the trumpet? I play it, and I must say that he only fails one time, and in a hard note (very high Eb), so don't talk about if you don't know.

  • Turds in the bell, herpes on the lips...

  • Not bad playing. The crash and burn might be faked.

  • @trumpetking953 Yeah, you see it a lot on America's funniest home videos, choreographed errors and bloopers.

  • OK, he made a mistake. He's hardly a bad player.

  • @TheHOmac

    well duh. anything will sound that bad compared to wynton marsalis.

  • is that a trumpet without mouthpiece?

  • The trumpet in the second one sounds a little sharp...

  • the first one's tone is so pure that i thought it was a woodwind!

  • holy shit i lold

  • I thought that it was pretty okay....

  • @darkangeljay me too bro.

  • i love this concerto!

  • No wonder he missed the high Eb. He was already pinching the G and A above the staff, making the Eb impossible. And terrible tuning; truly failing the excellent, ground-breaking work that is the Haydn Concerto.

  • @kville105125

    He wasnt pinching anything.... all he did was miss intervals. You sir, need to shut your mouth.

  • @Jorgenezz10 Haha then explain the tuning on the G and A above the staff. If you cannot hit those notes without straining, then you have no chance with the Eb. So continue trolling, I know a bit about playing trumpet. I'm a trumpet major ;)

  • @kville105125 Being out of tune means your out of tune. Not that youre pinching. And Im not trolling, Im just telling you that youre wrong :D Mr Trumpet Major man, you missed a class or two....

  • He actually did pretty good. Admittedly, his tone quality was a little tight, and he failed on the high Eb, but that kind of range is reserved for the ultimate overachievers. Better than I could do.

  • @shabernethy tuning on the second one is also quite bad...

  • @shabernethy Hardly "the overachievers" if you have even the slightest dedication to this grand instrument you would be able to build that range, i\you accomplish nothing by calling tose that try over achievers.

  • As hilarious as this is, I really do get sick of listening to people butcher the Haydn. Somehow the Haydn has become one of the "go to" solos for younger players. In reality, there are very VERY few high school players who have any business performing it, and still very few college undergraduates. It is very tough to play well. Find something you have a chance of success at and when you are ready then go for the Haydn.

  • That damn Eb keeps trumpet players the world over awake at night...

    It is their own personal musical 'nam. You weren't there man, you weren't there.

  • @SimonHackett88 yup. shit like this is fucking hard work

  • I enjoyed it. Remove the Epic Fail and this video would be a million times less controversial and (possibly) have a lot more views. This is a very respectable concerto that I couldn't even dream of learning on my lousy trumpet.

    I'm sure you've never even touched a trumpet before, much less played one. Let's leave the critiques to the musicians that KNOW what they're talking about.

  • second one wasnt such a fail.....

  • We've all been there as brass players. Sometimes the instruments says "no". Brass instruments have some 'tude ..... especially horns.

  • We've all been there as brass players. Have empathy. Sometimes the instrument just say "no". Brass instruments have 'tude sometimes... especially horns.

  • Fail? Come on guys, if you don't have much experience in music then you wouldn't think much of this but the trumpet, like all other brass instruments, is one of the hardest instruments to play and very few trumpeters get to the point where they can even face this piece.

  • You guys are all deaf. The failing starts at 0:48. It's not just the passage up to the dominant. He's fucking terrible. Awful tone, bad time, miserable articulation, overall shit technique.

    @mrwasbesonders That's a Db, bro. And if you're a horn player and you're speaking in Bb instead of concert (like a real musician), don't admit it and reveal to everyone what a bonehead you are. But then, anyone who thinks that missing the trash is more humiliating than sounding this bad clearly needs help.

  • @dangerbooboo Are your ears are so good you can tell that it is played on a C trumpet then? Unlikely that it is. Probably an Eflat trumpet which would make it a top B flat. And the fail doesn't start at 0:48, the fail recording hasn't even started then. And I've always stood up for a belief that Americans have a great sense of irony. My comments about the waste paper bin were not to be taken literally. And me a bonehead? Often one learns more about the accuser than the accused.

  • @mrwasbesonders Ok, I was just breakin yer balls but now I have to be real. You're fucking stupid. You're probably a music educator, aren't you? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. The fact that I called it a Db has nothing to do with the type of trumpet being played. I said it's a Db because it's a Db, dumbass. Maybe I'm spoiled because I work with musicians who don't have to read (and think and speak) in their instruments' key. You know... GOOD musicians.

  • Comment removed

  • @dangerbooboo Oh right, GOOD musicians, you mean the ultimate musical snobs - fuckers who play jazz. Without any dots, WOW! Yeh, and that's REAL music, well done. And yes I realise it's a concert D flat, congratulations, aren't you clever?! YOU are obviously the music educator as you are trying to educate me and so far you have done that very well. What I have learnt so far is that you are a hair splitting, argumentative, offensive narcissist. And you probably also have some bad points

  • @dangerbooboo Ok, the fail recording does start at 0:48 but not the fail itself. Yes, it is shit right from the beginning compared to the other, but frankly it is a passable student effort. Do you actually know how hard this piece is? Are you a trumpeter? If you are and find this piece easy my hat is off to you. And that is not sarcasm, I really mean that.

  • the first is not wynton, although it sounds like him. its sounds more like maurice andre

  • @foodmore it's Wynton, from his London Concert CD.

  • It was going very well till the scale up to the E flat that would have been at 1:19! Then I reckon he or she thought, "this is my big chance", always a recipe for disaster. Easily done, been there myself many times in many situations. Before trying to pot a black in pool, sink a double at darts, sing a high note in karaoke, taking a penalty in soccer, or trying to throw a screwed up piece of paper in a waste paper bin from a distance the last one being the most humiliating.

  • If I were to play this, I'd have 1000 epic fails, so I give this guy some credit.

  • The fail is at: 1:17

  • Meh. I couldn't do any better.

    This is a "meh". Not even a fail--it wasn't even really a flubbed note. It was just kind of a hesitant, unconfident note.

  • The only "Epic" fail is the "Epic" over use of "Epic Fail." I don't see how this is an epic failure in any sense. One person plays better than the other... omg, stop the press.

  • >.>

  • ok the first one is Wynton .. and the second is prob a HS senior .. no reason to compare .. other than the fact the second is well on their way to play this work great.. rather than be compared to a Great.

  • *Sigh* The fail in question is at 1:19.

  • I did not hear anything "fail" on this clip, although the 2nd player was awful sharp all the way through his part; he forgot to tune. He didn't even crack the high note so much as he didn't hit the center pitch

  • Um exactly how is this a fail.

  • this is not a fail.. your conception was a fail.

  • Wynton sounded just like that at one time.

  • Eh. I can't even do what the second did so... in my books.. that's a good rehearsal!

  • The second excerpt sounds like something you'd hear in a performance in recital hour...memories...

  • The second trumpet plays too sharp, too bad about that missed note.

  • That's not as bad as it could be hahah, and the sad thing is they have a good sound overall

  • just needs sum practice thats all

  • yea, i heard it but it wasnt that bad...just saying

  • you're a geek

  • I don't see the fail,where is it,this is My first time I listen this,so I can't notice where he fail because I do't know a Haydn Trumpet Concerto.

  • its only human.. we're bound to crack every once in a while. but its really entertaining to hear a guy nail a note like that differently every time.

  • good the second trumpet was not good at all while the first was great!!

  • id put money on the fact that 90% of the chumps posting dont even play! the 2nd effort wasnt that bad at all sure it wasnt performance quality non the less their sound isnt too bad. The articulation leaves a bit to be desired and intonation was a bit fail in places but a bit more work and it would sound good just not as good as Wynton

  • it is a D-flat by the way.

  • every copy of the Haydn ive seen must have had the title misprinted then!!

  • in all honesty, 1 missed note........no biggie

  • They both sound good :) 

  • hahahaha, i was waiting in cringe

  • I can only hear one right at the end- of the third ascensions he does.

  • The second ain't that bad...it's just the F7 scale

  • Well...I'm pretty sure the first one is Wynton's recording...can't really compare xD

  • @Johnsen572 Yeah, he's got that satiny textured timbre, always on pitch.

  • For that to be an epic fail, it needs to be blatantly obvious to a non music person like myself. The second one probably could have been better, but it wasn't back.

  • oh come on, i don't play a brass instrument but the second guy was still pretty good. he was obviously a student and doing fine.

  • Better to have tried and failed than to sit in judgment of those who try. It's so easy to be a critic.

  • @MTAndreas Amen to that. 

  • The first trumpet is amazing, the second sounds like a street performer with a giant lungs slurring every note hahaha... along with bad intonation

  • 1:16 Must be a nasty experience... Poor guy.

  • Awe Fuck off! I was expecting a rick roll or something hahaha

  • like drewbsn87 said, this is obviously two recordings of two different people

  • i think its so obvious which is the good one that you dont even need to write the FTW and the EPIC FAIL. people should notice the difference without any problem ;)

  • Jealousy...

  • I don't know where the fail is

    but this is cool!!

  • that wasn't a miserable fail. that dude has some skill! and yes, i'm talking about the second one!

  • Heh, I cringed a bit at that. =/

    Funny story! A little over a year ago I performed this in my school's orchestra. I was Horn 2. The solo trumpetist had made a very noticeable mistake in the final movement of it, making an entrance one bar early, being with the orchestra rather than against it. He eventually fixed himself, but kicked himself for the whole night after that mistake. :P

  • Because every great trumpet player was born great, and criticizing someone based on a single snapshot of their performing career is cool to do. Love these kinds of videos *facepalm*

  • @timeconsumer09 ah yes, exactly. this video is ridiculous. the second guy is obviously still an amateur and doing well. why compare him to someone world-class.

  • At 45 the recording switches... no more orchestra. It's not the same person. It's probably just some kid in the second half...

  • oh god...

  • i don't get it. where was the "epic fail"?

  • @skaterboyrob19 He slipped of a few notes. Not an epic fail as far as this trumpet player is concerned, we've all done it..

  • HAHAHAHAHA YESSS

  • You gotta give him credit for trying.

  • @lazyeddie04 It Was the same person

  • 2nd one...so sharp...

  • 2nd one has the notes...but doesn't have the control...nor the range. And likes to play loud.

  • The first one is just amazing . The second OMG !!!!

  • @TheHOmac the first one is one of the best trumpet players in the world.

  • that second one is painful, utterly painful

  • Yep. Let's just sit here and judge this trumpet player because we can. Maybe now we can feel good about ourselves.
